Extract a comprehensive design system (DESIGN.md) directly from frontend source code — React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, plain HTML/CSS, or any web framework. Analyzes component files, stylesheets, Tailwind configs, theme definitions, and design tokens to produce a rich, Stitch-compatible design system document. Use this skill whenever the user wants to reverse-engineer a design system from an existing codebase, audit the visual language of a project, extract design tokens from source files, or understand the styling patterns in a frontend repo — even if they just say "what does this app look like?" or "pull out the design from this code."
Generate complete, accessible colour palettes from a single brand hex. Produces 11-shade scale (50-950), semantic tokens, dark mode variants, Tailwind v4 CSS output, WCAG contrast checks. Use whenever the user supplies a brand hex and asks for a palette, mentions setting up a design system, wants Tailwind theme colours from a brand colour, or asks to check colour accessibility / contrast.
